whoever blue duke
was, he had a point.
there was
a war coming,
and i couldn't
fight it alone.
But i was
alone...
vi-ray...doctor
insomniac...they
were all dead.
and i couldn't
risk gabe and zooey
getting hurt.
or martha...
I only had
one guy left
in my ring...
you told me once that
my gift was helping people...
so why do i feel
like all i've been doing
lately is hurt?
well nicholas...
you know what they
say it's like right
before the dawn.
